40 BELOW SUMMER Tap Into Emotional Chaos With Crushing New Single “Darkside”

Veteran alt-metal powerhouse 40 BELOW SUMMER return with “Darkside,” one of their darkest, most emotionally charged tracks to date-now accompanied by a gripping official music video that visually captures the song’s raw emotion and intensity.

“Darkside” fuses crushing riffs, haunting atmospheres, and deeply personal lyrics, exploring themes of inner turmoil, mistrust, and the struggle to confront one’s own demons. Frontman Max Illidge delivers a soul-baring performance, matched by the band’s signature dynamic shifts and hard-hitting rhythms.

The song’s unforgettable chorus — “So say hello from the darkside, this part of you that you cannot hide” — cuts to the core of its emotional weight, offering a brutally honest look into the darker corners of the human experience.

With “Darkside,” 40 BELOW SUMMER prove that even after decades in the scene, their fire still burns—and it’s never been more intense.
